Great looking site, and I love the strike-through approach you used in your marketing copy. However, I did notice a couple issues: 1. There seems to be a few problems with the font you are using, as some of the words seem to run into each other, at least on Chrome. Some of the sub-headings on this page are borked, for example: http://redstamp.ca/design/ 2. I like the carousel, but found it fairly annoying when it wou…

Thanks for the feedback, we will be tweaking the slider on the home page and coming up with a solution for chrome.

This page is proof you can make pretty websites. Sadly, it might also evidence that you may stink at marketing. Its way to busy for me to follow a distinct line, and there is abosolutely no structured copy for me to read. Plus you put the very little copy you have in a carrousel and made it hard to read with some weird color choices. Now, luckily for you, I'm not your target market ( I think, there is no way for me t…

Thanks for your insight and time.

The first thing I noticed was that your header text is part of the same JPEG image that has each background image: http://redstamp.ca/wp-content/themes/redstamp/images/layout/... . This is especially visible with the red text, which is thoroughly mangled by the compression, but it's just as obvious with the white lettering if you're used to being grouchy about how browsers all render text differently poorly ;) Speaki…

I do hear what you're saying and I can see how it would improve our site.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like you may be loading three separate instances of modernizr. http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.0.4/modern... http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.0.4/modern... http://redstamp.ca/wp-content/themes/redstamp/js/modernizr.c...

Thanks for catching that.

It's a wonderfully designed site; I love how the splash page draws your eyes to where they belong, without being overly obtrusive. One criticism: on http://redstamp.ca/development/ , you may want to change the menu that changes position as you scroll. Maybe keep it fixed to the top of the screen as you scroll down, but when you scroll up, it should stay in position until it hits the bottom of the screen, and then beg…

Thanks for your suggestion and wonderful words!

In your headings, my eyes were immediately drawn to the block letter text. It was only after I processed it and realized that your message couldn't be "we do mundane things" that it occurred to me to re-read it. Then I found the strikeout and scribblings. You might consider beefing up the strikeout line and using a stencil font with a more fetching shade of red. Perhaps laid over the revoked text. Or just drop the id…

Thanks for your honest feedback, I appreciate it.

I appreciate the time you've spent on your response. We will be using your feedback as we tweak the site tomorrow (especially the stale comments :/).

Thanks
